It doesn't sound to me like you have restriction. Call your doctor and get in for a fill. Do you know how much Fluid is in your band right now? How big is your band?

Are you at goal? Are you gaining weight?

If I was at goal and not gaining weight, then I wouldn't worry about 2 slices of pizza or a cup of rice or Pasta.

If I wasn't at goal and/or was putting on a few pounds, then I'd probably try and eat less at a meal first because this isn't about what you *can* eat, but whether or not you're hungry.

For example, now that the swelling from my last fill has gone down, I *can* eat more than 1 cup of food. However, I stop at 1 cup and find I'm more than satisifed and able to go for 4 hours or so until my next meal.

If you are able to eat to excess (meaning you are gaining weight because you're eating too much) and hungry, go for the fill.

3 years? wow. Was it all of a sudden you can eat more? Wonder if you sprung a leak!

I wouldnt worry unless you are trying to lose more weight and not managing to do so, or were at goal and are now gaining.

I've found gradually over time I can eat more, but that was necessary or I'd be 80lb by now, lol. I can eat a roll, its filling and I would only do it some days but I can eat most of one. I can eat about a cup of Pasta and sauce too. Cant do the pizza but can barely eat pizza and hate it anyway.

I dont find it a problem because I'm at goal and staying there without effort. I burn off what i eat and need to eat reasonable amounts.

So if it didnt come on suddenly, I wouldnt give it a thought. If you need to lose more, get a fill, if not, dont worry about it.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
